Answer:
a. pH = 2 b. pH = 3 c. pH = 1 d. Unanswerable
Explanation:
pH = -log[H+] OR pH = -log{H3O+]
and inversely
pOH = -log[OH-]
1. Determine what substance you are working with, (acid/base)
2. Determine whether or not that acid or base is strong or weak.
a. 1.0 x 10^-2M HCl
HCl is a strong acid, therefore it will dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- with all ions going to the H+, therefore, the concentration of HCl and concentration of H+ are going to be equal, meaning we simply take the negative logarithm of the concentration of HCl and that would equal pH
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(1.0x10^-2)
pH = 2
b. 1.0 x 10^-3M HNO3
HNO3 like part a, is a strong acid, therefore it would simply require you to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of the compound itself, to find its pH.
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(1.0 x 10^-3)
pH = 3
c. 1.0 x 10^-1M HI
Like the previous parts, HI is a strong acid
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(0.10)
pH = 1
d. HB isn't an element, nor is it a compound so that would be unanswerable.
Iodine electron configuration is:
1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5
when Krypton is the noble gas in the row above iodine in the periodic table,
we can change 1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 by the symbol
[Kr] of Krypton.
So we can write the electron configuration of Iodine:
[Kr] 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5
C. Answer correct I think…
Arrhenius Bases, so that other compounds that have the hydroxyl group (OH⁻)
hope this helps!
